Wisconsin in the News

Our governor here in Wisconsin, Scott Walker, is a potential candidate for the primary campaign for
the presidential election of 2016. The Progressives [Democrats] must
view him as a threat because their media folks are trying to find any
dirt they can discover about him or make up from misinformation,
gleaned from facts. The only thing they can come up with was that he
did not complete college.

His record
as Governor of Wisconsin speaks for itself and denounces such
negative media tripe and during the CPAC 2015 conference, he
shows his potential and grasp of what must be done for true
reformation and get our nation back on track towards what the
Founders had in mind …

As Thomas Sowell wrote in his
RandomThoughts [on the passing scene] article:

The mainstream media seem
desperate to try to find something to undermine Republican governor
Scott Walker's rise in the polls. The worst they have come up with is
that he didn't finish college. Neither did Bill Gates or Michael
Dell. The Wright brothers didn't finish high school. Neither did
Abraham Lincoln or George Washington.

Viewing the overall curriculum and
administration of colleges and universities in the United States, one
wonders if that is truly a bad thing not to get a degree in college.
The Internet has provided a vast amount of opportunities to be
self-taught on subjects ranging from arts and crafts to meteorology.
Benjamin Franklin was removed from school at ten years old to work
with father at candle making and later at 12, worked in his brother's
print shop. Later in his adult life he made scientific research in
electricity, mathematics, and map making. He helped draft the
Declaration of Independence and the US Constitution,
negotiated the 1783 Treaty of Paris as the first ambassador of
the United States in his elderly days despite suffering from gout and
kidney stones. He wrote articles, self-published articles and
established Poor Richard's Almanac which continues to be
printed Farmer's Almanac more than 200 years later.

This is all presented not to denounce
the importance of 'higher education', but to emphasize the importance
of a well-rounded education that provides an individual with
knowledge to become successful at a chosen career and an intellectual
citizen. Attending a college or university also presents the
opportunity (suppose to) to engage in intellectual discussion and
exercises in 'What If' discussion.

Academics often defend tenure,
despite its many negative consequences, on grounds that it allows
academic freedom for independent minds. Yet there are few places in
America with more taboos and intellectual intolerance than academic
campuses. The young are indoctrinated with demographic "diversity"
that contrasts with a squelching of diversity of ideas on social
issues.

The goal of our educational
institutions are becoming almost extinct in the educational
institutions of the US because federal government control has
decreased intellectual speculation and constructive discussion; with
the progressive ideology that whatever they decide is a consensus of
finality. This was markedly evident when it referring to the original
theory's name - so-called “global warming” theory, changed by
progressives after Al Gore gave a global warming speech in New
York City during one of the worst snowstorms in the history of New
England. That periodic nasty weather continues today; a part of
Earth's history of constant weather and climate changes it has
experienced since it became a living planet.

It is remarkable how the Internal
Revenue Service has been "losing" e-mails that
Congressional investigators want to see and how "global warming"
researchers have been "losing" the raw data on which their
dire predictions have been based. In the social sciences, people just
frankly refuse to allow their raw data to be seen by critics of such
sacred cow policies as affirmative action.

While the media is in a frenzy over
Walker not finishing college, little is said about the scandal
concerning Senator Tammy Baldwin (D-WI) whose only notable
highlight in her political career is being the first openly gay member of the US Senate has gotten herself in
trouble with the VA and its veterans. She has been chastised for not addressing the issue of the high rate of opiate prescriptions
coming out of the Veterans Affairs center in Tomah, Wisconsin.
Indeed, thanks to the policies of being a sanctuary state for illegal
immigrants, the drug cartel has taken full advantage of it that includes an increase
in heroin trafficking here in Wisconsin.

In the process of this scandal that has
linkedthree deaths of veterans because she sat on a report for months,
she fired her top aide and orchestrated with her lawyers a means to
keep that aide from squealing by providing a confidentiality agreement. This is what Obama and politicians like Tammy Baldwin
call a 'transparent' government, politicians who once elected forget
who put them in office. An ethics complaint is presently being
processed against Senator Baldwin a proven incompetent politician
that Wisconsin voters put in office anyway.

Tammy Baldwin wrongly
appropriated taxpayer funds to compensate a Senate employee who would
not have performed official government duties while also fraudulently
offering a contract to silence a former employee in order to save
Baldwin’s career,” Joe Fadness, the executive director of the
state Republican Party, wrote in the complaint.

Senator Baldwin is just a tip of the
iceberg in unethical and corrupt as well as pushing the national debt
into astronomical amounts that can only lead to national disaster.

Barack Obama is so confident that the
Affordable Health Care Act (Obamacare) is such a success that he can
move forward and commandeer yet another aspect of private enterprise
and unconstitutional authority: regulating retirement of the Middle Class of the United States.

The progressives, as they progress more
openly towards a big brother socialist state, Obama is working toward controlling the
investment world in the private sector. He already has finalized the
takeover of auto manufacturers and his predecessors have commandeered
the banking system through the Federal Reserve, and now the Internet
has been breached by a closed door event at FCC who will now be in
charge of overseeing the Internet. I have to say one thing about
progressives: they are diligent and patient, taking away liberties
and freedom one step at a time. Sadly, there are too many Americans
who are applauding the ruse and those steps. By the time they realize
that their compliance and belief that government can run their lives
better than they can, it will be too late. It is what the Founders
and Ronald Reagan so fervently warned citizens. Too many are
either forgetting or ignoring common sense and logic; all of which
was the basis of establishing the US Constitution and its amendments.

Scott Walker is not spewing out
promises he cannot keep, his terms as governor show that he works
hard at achieving and sometimes passing that criteria of campaign
promises. Wisconsin is not a state that abides by the Second
Amendment and Wisconsinites may, if they choose and qualify, can
obtain a concealed carry permit. He and the state legislators have
gotten rid of an old law that made no sense: people can now hunt
during bow season with crossbows (but not during gun season). The Wisconsin legislator
is working on deleting the 48-hour waiting period for handguns. It is
one of the regulations/laws that has not caught up to the
modernization such as conceal carry permit regulations. Other states
have gotten rid of the waiting period because it has never proven to
deter firearm crimes. Governor Walker and the state legislator has
relieved businesses in Wisconsin with Draconian and outdated laws and
regulations that hinder business operations for no justifiable
reason. Those changes also include tax breaks to help citizens and
businesses to stay abreast of the economic downturn that has affected
the nation. As he indicated in the video presented above, Governor
Walker worked towards passing a law that allows workers to decide if
they want to join a union, without fear of losing their jobs or not
obtaining new ones.

If one looks at the situation “outside
the box”, Governor Walker should announce that he is flattered and
thank the mainstream bias media for the increased incentive to run
for president in 2016 via their smear campaign attempts. It means he
is a viable candidate that may win the Republican primary and
ultimately win against whoever wins the Democrat primary and become
the 45th President of the United States.

We the People

“Who are the militia? Are they not ourselves? It is feared, then, that we shall turn our arms each man against his own bosom. Congress have no power to disarm the militia. Their swords, and every other terrible implement of the soldier, are the birthright of an American... [T]he unlimited power of the sword is not in the hands of either the federal or state governments, but, where I trust in God it will ever remain, in the hands of the people."[Tench Coxe, The Pennsylvania Gazette, 1788]

"He who knows when he can fight and when he cannot, will be victorious. ... The supreme art of war is to subdue the enemy without fighting." [Sun Tzu]

"Liberty once lost, is lost forever."[John Adamsand Ronald Reagan]

"If you do not look upon life as a great journey filled with adventure, then life is really not worth the effort. ... If you want to see the miracle of life, be present when a child is born. When life is done, another journey begins ... because the soul is energy that cannot be destroyed, it just changes form, according to Albert Einstein." [Keith A. Lehman]

So have I become your enemy by telling you the truth? [Saint John, Letter to Galatians 4:16]

I ask sir, what is the militia? It is the whole body of the people. [George Mason]

The worst form of inequality is to try to make unequal things equal. [Aristotle ]
